Hidden Warriors

Hidden Warriors An NYC-based Warrior Makeover Movement designed to empower women who are moving through cancer. Let's GO!

The story behind Hidden Warriors Project: A couple of years ago, as I was moving through a difficult time, I had access to a closet full of crowns and headdresses that belonged to my aunt. Not long after trying a few on, I noticed my posture, body language and attitude changed from hopeless to powerful. Being framed in this context was unlike anything I'd experienced in my life. I felt unbelievabl

y strong, powerful, beautiful, confident and unstoppable. It awakened a dormant energy in me that I was able to use as fuel to move forward. I now understand the importance of posture and what it does to our brain chemistry, how it literally does heal us, and how certain headwear actually gently force us to hold these power postures, as studied by many social psychologists. This is just one of the simple but profound benefits of wearing these pieces. I was stunned at how beneficial and therapeutic this experience had been. Fast forward to 2012 when my mother, the strongest and most incredible woman I have ever known, was diagnosed with breast cancer. I felt compelled to come up with things she could use to help her get through her treatments and empower her in some way in hopes of strengthening her resolve to fight for her life. I love this woman more than anything or anyone in this world and would do anything for her. I came to understand that ANY positive experience, no matter how small, can be a healing and strengthening force for anyone who has been weakened by cancer or any other trial. And the Hidden Warriors Project was born...

Today: Hidden Warriors is a Warrior Makeover Workshop that empowers and shifts the perspective of women who are moving through cancer. We believe that all trials and traumatic experiences have the potential to be used toward our advancement. Our goal is worldwide service, and YOU are invited to join forces with us. With help from professional make-up artists, photographers, designers, yoga instructors, occupational therapists, headdress makers and other creatives, we use various tools to show how to reduce fear. Then, we use the power of costume to make their Hidden Warrior spirit more palpable. We photograph and document the process of transforming their mood and body language. Each photograph serves as a meditation tool, a visual ideal to tap into, if each Warrior ever feels a loss of power in the future. We are committed that everyone involved WINS, from the Warrior to the photographer, to the funders, to the costume creators- EVERYONE. instagram.com/hiddenwarriorsproject

All Hidden Warriors operations are still ON PAUSE, but we want to share the images from our 7th Warrior Makeover Workshop. MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU! The already absolutely fierce Warrior Betty, transformed cancer survivor, in a lightsaber powerpose!


Due to Covid restrictions, Hidden Warriors operations are PAUSED. We simply can’t function the way we were designed to during this active global health crisis. We would love to continue with our mission to cause empowerment in the cancer community, and are open to suggestions on how we could restructure under the current conditions. Any ideas? Leave them in the comments below! 💡💡💡⬇️⬇️⬇️
